Hombale Films’ ‘Kantara’ was directed by Rishab Shetty, who also starred in the film. He recently bagged the prestigious National Award for his lead role as Kaadubettu Shiva in the film. 

As we celebrate Durga Puja this year, let's remember the cultural impact of ‘Kantara’. Since its debut, ‘Kantara’ has garnered widespread acclaim for its engaging storytelling and authentic portrayal of local traditions. The film's stunning visuals and strong score added to its appeal, making it a perfect inspiration for the elaborate and vibrant Durga Puja pandal, and a sequel is currently in production, promising to bring more of this enchanting narrative to the screen.

The pandal was created in the Jorasanko area of Kolkata and was inspired by the theme of Buta Kola, a shamanistic dance from the Tulu Nadu region.

The film shocked the nation and became a hit over the night with extremely amazing word of mouth by the audience. The film crossed the mark of 100 Cr. in the Hindi language. Moreover, It was one of the most divine experiences for everyone who witnessed the movie in theatres.
